Greying skin and rotton nails
Single minded
Festering and rotten
Weilding a crusted blade good and propper
The decaying mind, rotten eyes stare out at me
He is what he eats, a cannibal a rotten mind
He says that is his part, but that happens to be my heart!
Black beaded eyes tell of a decaying demise
The rotten flesh hangs off his bones
He yearns for more flesh to chew from the decayed
Oh how there is nothing more depraved
More depraved than the decayed mind

To Rot and decay,
To exist and prey,
How did they come to be?
Look there!
As it devours,
Through victims’ pleas,
And hunters’ shots,
Is there really an existance as theirs?
Troublesome,
Tiresome,
Creatures from beyond,
Where will they go,
What will they do,
Once all has been devoured?

5. Brains are The Organ For Me!
Being a zombie of discerning tastes
I eat many parts of a body that wastes
I like them all to a degree
But if I get to pick
What to chew gnaw and lick
Brains are the organ for me

Before you get festerin'
I'll eat your intestines
Like spaghetti if I have a fork on me
But since I usually have not
A utensil on spot
I use gnarled claws with glee!
But thats just an apetizer, I
Eat what makes man wizer
Brains are the organ for me!

I'll eat spleen and liver
Though both are quite bitter
Other organs not fairing much better, you see
Nothing makes zombie tummy gladder
Than eating grey matter
Brains are the organ for me!

2010-01-12[Ravendust]: [Alexi Ice] - was the contest time frame lengthened? I've noticed at least on the main page that it's been reset to February. Is the poetry contest lengthened as well, since it's still set to January?
